## About this plan

Looking for things to do in Bogotá with kids who love words? The Reverso Poetry Festival: Words That Draw is a great pick. It is a gathering built around playing with words, images, and shapes until they turn into calligrams, poems whose typography draws what they say.

The idea starts with reading poems and looking at elements of nature, then creating texts you can also see, trace, and draw. It invites children to approach poetry through play, and gives families a creative afternoon at one of the city libraries.

Entry is free, so just show up and join in. Check the exact date and time on the BibloRed page, where they confirm the details of the day.

- Calligram workshop for kids
- Poem readings and creative exploration
- Nature and shapes as inspiration
- Free entry until capacity is reached
- Gathering at Biblioteca El Parque

## Who it's for

It is a great plan for families with young children, teachers, librarians, and reading guides who want to bring poetry and visual experimentation to early ages.

## Tips

- Arrive early to grab a spot, since entry is free.
- Wear comfortable clothes and bring something for taking notes or drawing.
- Check the exact time and room on the BibloRed page before you leave.
- If you take TransMilenio, look up the closest station to Biblioteca El Parque ahead of time.
- Stay with your child during the reading and the calligram making. The process is the best part.
